Question
Hello Rabbi, My wife is starting to work as a makeup artist. We are preparing a website for advertising. The question is whether it is permissible to upload a portfolio to the site - pictures of women before and after makeup. If it is allowed, is it considered preferable or should it be avoided (of course, only if the woman photographed agrees)? And if it is better to avoid it, if someone is corresponding with my wife about makeup work, can she send them the portfolio (via WhatsApp/email)? Or should it only be shown in a physical meeting? Can we know if the rabbi himself answered the question?
Answer
Hello
I asked our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, and he answered:
It is permissible to send the pictures to those who are interested, but not to publish them publicly.
